Pressure, Pressure, Pressure

Hello, it's nice to be back on here again. So much has gone on, and honestly, it's difficult to keep up with it all.

School. School, and, guess what? School. Don't get me wrong, it's great to learn and it's great to get a job and a life and all of that. But I'd also quite like to have a life now. Homework has been ridiculously heavy, over two hours a night. And what's worse is the teachers expect you to do all of this and more. I mean I worked it out that I end up doing school work for about 12 hours of the day. I need to sleep as well, and I need to get out.

It's actually ridiculous. And the amount of tests we have as well, it's like we have no time to learn what we need to know for these tests in the first place.

One of my friends explained this really well. It's like an equation triangle. In one space, you've got homework, another you've got sleep, and in the last one you have a social life. You can't have all three, you can only have to.

So it's either sleep and social life, social life and homework, or the obvious one- homework and sleep.

Luckily, I now have a break. A week, to be exact. And I couldn't be more grateful.

(Of course I have homework to do during this 'break', but hey, let's not get onto that...)

For the first time in a long long time, I feel more grown up than I felt in school, being bossed around by teachers, or ruled by homework. I'm getting a train on my own for the first time, and I know it sounds little but I finally feel responsible for something other than school.

I just wanted to thank everyone who's put up with me. This is harder than I thought it would be, so god knows how we're going to survive the next two years.

Somehow, we'll find a way. I know it.

Fly On, please, just fly on

PS: My song for you this time is Trees by Twenty One Pilots.

PPS: Always remember that you need some down time, get your homework done and everything but please- have a life, have a hobby, have someone. It'll help you.

PPPS: You're doing great, trust me. :)
